TURKS

--.i . t . . ..
And Monastir Surrenders
to Servian Troops.
TERRIFIC FI6JTJS RAGING
Along the Lines at Tchatalja
Turkish Army Badly
Disorganized.
CONSTANTINOPLE STILL 8APK
Belgrade, Noy. 18. The Turkish'
fotress of Monastir surrendered
CCita afternoon to the Servian troops
Fifty thousand Turkish soldiers
and three Generals laid down their
arms,
Monastir had been virtually sur
rounded by Servian troops for ssv--cral
days, while Greek troops com
ing from the South had cut off the
Turkish line of' retreat to Ochrida.
On Saturday the Servian troops, af
ter desperate fighting throughout
the day and night, succeeded in cap
turing two important heights com
manding the city. They then ad
a -vanced through the morasses upon
'the Inner fortifications, which sur
rendered to-day.
Monastir I8 the headquarters of
the Sixth Turkish Army Corps com
manded by FethI Pasha, but many
other Turkish troops fleeing from)
surrounding towns, which had been
captured by th0 Servians, concen
trated there. , Djavld Pasha, the
commander of the Seventh Turkish
Army Corps, went there with many
of his soldiers after the fail of Us
kup to the Servians.
It was thought that the Turkish
j litroops would be able to stand a
lenguiy siege in .uunusur, uui u i
evident that the army was totally
disorganized and lacked provisions.
Many of the soldiers wero reserv
ists only recently callod to the col
o'rs. Monastir occupied a capital posi
tion for defense. It Ig the market
center for the entire district and
has a population of 45,000, compos
ed of Servians, Dugarlans, Alban
ians, Armenians, Greeks and Turks.
The Christians number about half
of the inhabitants.
The possession of 'the heights
commanding Monastir by the Serv
ian army under Crown Prince Alex
ander rendered the fortress untpn
able. Fethi Pasha, former Turkish
Minister to Belgrade, was one of
the first to hand over his afford. At
the beginning of the war he made
the remark:
"We will soon Invite our friends
to dinner In Belgrade."
Tbe representatives o Germany
and Italy Informed Premier Pach
'Itch, of Servia, to-day that their
Governments supported Austria's
view of Servla's clalm8 to an exten
sion of her territory after the war.
M. Pachltch declined to glva n
definite answer until the conclusion
of the war.
Constantinople- Still Safe.
London, Nov. 18. Th0 frst Bul
garian attack on the Turkish line
of fortifications defending Constan
tinople at Tchatalja has failed. Tho
whole of the Bulgarian army was
engaged. Every available man was
moved to the front from the Bul
garian forces investing Adrlanople,
'wher0 they were relieved by Ser
vian troops.
The Bulgarians, with all their ar
tillery, began their advance on the
Tchatalja fortifications on Satur
day, and continued the bombard.-
' ment of the works throughout Sun
day. They, however, found the
Turkish positions so" strong they
cquld make no- impression on them,
and for the moment at. least thb'.at
tempt has been given up, the firing,
according to a dispatch from, pn
fltantino'ple, having ceased-' "this
morning.
Observers, who hayejbjQeJn, to ,the
Turkish front agree that the cap
ture of tbe Tchatalja llne,s must
prove a task of tremendous' difficul
ty. The days the Bulgarian troops
. -were compelled to use for the bring
ing up of guns, ammunition and re
inforcements were utilized by the
Turks to entrench themselves and
place their guns- In position giving
''nhe'm a distinct advantage over the
attackers. The Turkish .soldiers, oo,
.Tvha
hadjrbeen tf'o afiatkegbjrthelr
jug defeats, appear to have
previous
been steadied,, and thus- far have
made a most determined stand,
ritlful Picture.
Paris, Nov. 18. A picture of tho
disorganization in the Turkish army
la drawn by tho war correspondent
of tho Matin, at Hadcmkeul, the
Turkish headquarters of the lines
of Tchatalja. Ho says:
"Col. Lehmann, a Gorman officer,
who has Just taken over command
of the Turkish artillery, declares
that he did not find a single gun In
place. The Turks have plenty of
guns and ammunition. They have
German cannon and nlso French
cannon taken from tho Servians be
fore hostilities began. Three of the
French guns were Been lying In
the mud at the Hedamkeul railroad
depot, rust-eaten and useless.
"The total of. the Turkish forces
Is estimated at IGO.uuO men, but
there 1b a complete lack of energy
among the commanders and organ
ization of any sort is absent. The
commander-in-chief docs not leave
his parlor car, where he will not re
ceive anybody. The staff officers of
the Turkish army themselves can
see him only after 10 o'clock in the
morning.
"If things go on rb they are to
day the Bulgarians will not find any
Turkish troops to fight; they will
all be dead from cholera and ty
phoid." FATHER AND SOX TO DIE
IN THE ELECTIUC CHAIR
Richmond, Va., Nov. 18. A new
trial "was to-day refused Floyd Al
len and his son, Claude Swanson
Allen, by the Supreme Court of Vir
ginia. The men .are condemned to
die In the electric chair next Fri
day for the murder of officials of
(ho Carroll County Court at Hllls
ville, March 14.
Floyd Allen was convicted May,
17, specifically for tho killing of
Commonwealth's Attorney William
M. Foster. His son, tried on the
charge of. killing Judge Thornton
u. aiassie, was convicted and sen
tenced to fifteen years in the peni
tentiary. A second, trial on an In
dictment for the killing pt Attor
ney Foster resulted in n conviction
for murder In the first degree, July
27.
It la believed that Gov. Mann
will not Interfere with tho execu
tion of the sentence Imposed by tho
courts. Tho appeal to tho Supreme
Court for now trials, decided ad
versely to-day, had been pending
for some time, but Virginia officials
have proceeded with arrangements
for the execution of th0 men, be
lieving that no clemency would be
shown.
Th0 Hlllsvllle courthouse shoot

resented the conviction of Floyd
Allen on a minor chnrge by killing
five persons In the court room, is
still holding attention In Virginia
because of the trial of Sidna Allen,
the clan leader, now under way at
Wythevllle.
TWO MEN KILLED IN A
STREET DUEL AT FILSON
Clay City, Ky., Nov. 17. Two
men met death In n street duel at
Filson, six miles east of Stanton,
Powell county, to-day. Billy Bow
en, former Sheriff of Powelr coun
ty, was Instantly killed by Henry
Skldmore and Skldmore was so bad"
wounded by Reeg Bowen, a
brother of the former Sheriff, that
ho died to-night. Rces Bowen made
his escape.
A reward of $230 was offered to
night by T, G. Sldmore, a relative of
Henry Skldmore, for the arrest of
Rees Bowen. The parti-"' pants were
of prominent families.
Bowen was elected Sheriff of
Powell county at the last election
for county officers, but on com
plaint of irregularity in his ac
counts was ousted from office. His
bondsmen made good the shortage,
which his friends declared was due
more to a poor system of book
keeping than to any Intentional dis
honesty on the part of the Sheriff.
So far n3 could be learned to
night, there had been no previous
difficulty between tho men who
were killed or between Skldmore
and Rees Bowen. Both the slain
meh are survived by families.

IDEA
New York, Nov. 15. Gov. Wil
son announced to-night that immediately-'
after his Inauguration
n3 President h0 would call an extra
session pf Congress to convene not
later than April 15 for tlie purpose
of revising the tariff.
The President-elect will sail for
Bermuda at 2 o'clock to-morrow
afternoon for his vacation, and will
rsturn on December 1C.
In a statement issued to-night
,ho declared the pledges of the party
ought to be redeemed as soon as
possible,- and that the extra session
would be in the interest of busi
ness, In thnt all uncertainty as to
what tho tariff revision will be,
will be removed. Most of the opin
ions from public men he had re
ceived, seemed favorable to an ex
tra session, he declared.
Unless an extra session Is called,
tho comeilng of tho new Congress
would not occur until thirteen
months after Its election, and tariff
revision, the Governor felt, would
be too long delayed.
Gov. Wilson came to New York
t-nlght to attend a dinner In his
honor by his classmates, of Prince
ton. '79.
The President-elect and family
will sail- on tho steamship Bermu
dlan, 'arriving nt Bermuda Monday,
where he has leased a cottage on
a remote part of the Island.
General Approvnl.
Washington, Nov. 13. General
approval was expressed In Demo
cratic circles to-night, of Wilson's
decision to call an extra session to
revise the tariff.- Speaker Clark
and other leaders concur with the
Governor's views. The speaker
earlier In the day had voiced his
desire In strong terms for an extra
session.
W. J. Bryan, when Informed of
the Governor's decision, said he
"had done the wise thing."
Senator Dixon, of Montana, also
thought It the "wise thing." "The
twenty-five Progressive members of
the House will caucus separately,
and will bo glad to support the
Wilson program, If It squares with
their own belief," he said. "But
remember," he added, laughingly, !
"the Progressives are

By President Taft in Open
Declaration.
IT IS HEAOED FDR SOCIALISM
He Declares Is Surprised at
Roosevelt Showing in
Recent Election.
WANTS FACTIONS TO UNITE
New York, Nov. IG. President
Taft discusses the present situation
in the Republican party at length In
a statement published by th0 World
to-day, expressing the hope that
Progressives and regulars will be
ablo to join In a single united par
ty for effective action at the next
general elections.
"The sheet anchor of popular
Government Ik In tho division of tlio
j pCO)le Into two great parties and
no more," he declares.
j .Mr. Taft deals with th0 Bull
Moose movement In considerable
detail. "I was surprised at Mr.
Roosevelt's strength in the elec
I tlon," he says, and adds, comment
' Ing on the Progressive platform:
I "The difficulty I find with the
present Progressive program Is that
It contemplates the Impossible. The
i country cannot afford to turn Itself
over to a class of men who do not
I deserve to figure in any more hon
orable fight than quncks do In the
practice of medicine. It would be
too grent danger to the body pol
itic. "When a party like the Bull
Moose party comes forward and
proposes to tear down all the
checks and balances of a well-adjusted,
democratic, constitutional,
republican government, then the
i Issue affects the permanence and
continuance of our government.
j "The danger Is from a party
, whose tendency Is thus necessarily
destructive of what lias been labor
iously established for the good and
happiness of mankind by the strug-
' gle8 of centuries and which Is head
ed as clearly for Socialism as the
Socialist party itself.
I "It, behooves us, therefore, as Re
publicans, to look forward to the
time when In the natural course of
events, the Democrats shall have
disappointed the public, to be ready
to prevent that disappointment
from being used by the Bull Moose
